thank you for sharing your story. I'm a retired teacher and think it's amazing that your family recognized your struggles with traditional education and encouraged you to find your passion. I enjoy your channel so much!
Fantastic story. You are a great example for others with learning disabilities. You display confidence and determination. Thank you for sharing your story with us.
No 'learning disability' in being dyslexic, just a different way of thinking with some challenges and many advantages. I'm a senior lecturer at a University in the U.K. and dyslexic myself. Dyslexic people we all might know - Einstein, Tom Cruise, Richard Branson, Cher, Picasso, Agatha Christie..the list goes on. Brilliant to see yet another person to (potentially?) add to the 'Dyslexic Hall of Fame' list, Sean.
Thanks for this background Sean. Your story may help inspire others to see that it is not always where you start out in life but having the courage to go where your path leads you. Sorry about the loss of your dog Haig.
You were clearly born to do this Sean, you're just a natural at it. Its a way of life, not a job. Your dyslexia has probably made you ask more questions to fill your knowledge gaps. Absolutely excellent, keep up the good work.
And also to learn best by watching and listening. I bet that's perfect improving and growing in the work he does. Reminds me of something Oliver Sacks (famous neurologist & author) said about increased visual understanding & creativity he noticed in people deaf from birth. Or the well-known blind U.S. federal judge whose memory for speeches and ideas is phenomenal since he doesn't use written notes.
@TamarLitvot Indeed! I think the difference is that people who encounter a difficulty and see it as a challenge to get round, rather than a blockade to stop them, do much better, they have to be more creative in reaching their goals. A lesson to us all really.
Regards from Bosnia & Herzegovina!!!! Congratulation Shawn on your life success. Be proud of your self, of your job and beautiful family... and beautiful smart dogs !!! :)
So sorry about Haig. I lost my first Border Collie Zeke at 2 from congenital heart disease. It's been 40+ years still tears me up. Love your videos thanks for sharing.
What a wonderful story! I'm so glad you stayed with farming and found your nitch with sheep herding you are so great with it and I love how you are with your dogs! I love watching your videos. You are so authentic and your sense of humor is perfect!!
Hi Sean from Potlatch, Idaho. Love your show seeing you and your family. Congratulations to you both on your baby. Started watching you through Kate. Our Duke died and Kate looked so much like him and her antics reminded me a lot of him. I love sheep as I had some myself, so I was hooked. May God Bless you and your family.
Clearly it’s your calling. You have a wonderful life; many are envious of. I’m because I had a border collie mix. I had wanted a borderline collie and a newfie since I was a kid. In my fifies I got a mix of the two breeds by rescue at the insistence of my daughter. He was a beloved dog by all who knew him. My love of animals gave me hopes of working with them. My grandparents owned a dairy farm. I’d have loved to own a farm. My dad had other plans for me though. So, now I dream about it by watching your videos. Enjoyed the story of your beginnings as a shepherd.
Echo with that chain of flowers! He’s grown up to be a full blown ‘Big Boy’. Obviously a very sad time with Haigh but you had Kate the Great and a good life. Well done Sean and Stacey. I love seeing Kate the Great bird watching ❤
Hello Sean from British Columbia (about 2 hours from Vancouver) !! I love the videos; Scotland is beautiful, love watching the dogs work!! I have a BC named Sara, she's a family pet but so smart! Thank you for sharing your stories with us. Blessings to you and Stacey and young Cole (hope that's right) and all the dogs! Love to all from Canada!
Hi Sean! I’m glad to hear your background story! Thanks for sharing! I, also came from a suburban upbringing and bought a farm when I was 22. I used to have a small flock of sheep in Vermont and I later moved to dairy cattle. We had 400 milking cows and 400 heifers coming up. I am no longer able to live or work on a farm so I love to watch your working videos. The dogs are amazing, and I enjoy hearing about the family, and rural life in Scotland.
Florida man here, you guys rock! My border collie Smokey was almost 13 when I lost her! As we both know, border collies are the smartest, athletic, beautiful dogs on the planet! Sometimes we just fall into what becomes our passions. Happy New Year, to you and your family, and fur babies!
Broke my heart when you were talking about not being with Haig at the end. I lost my Australian shepherd in 2017 and miss him. Herding dogs are the best. Good on Stacy for insisting on Kate.
Dyslexia has nothing to do with intelligence. The brain processes information differently. Dyslexia runs in my family and being able to think outside the box has contributed to creative, financially and personally successful people. Congratulations Sean on your creative ability to problem solve!!
A great story Sean🥰 It would make a great film with Scotland as a wonderful backdrop 🏴 so glad you’ve found your passion and the dogs do love you as you love them ❣️ Thank you for telling us about your journey 💕
Sorry for your loss. Appreciate your videos. IMO, you dont have to be fancy, just real. Your care and love for these wonderful creatures is shared by many. All the best to you and your family.
Thank you for sharing the story of your dog Haig. Knowing the difficulty of loosing dogs, I thought you very brave to tell it. It is profoundly heartbreaking to loose our beloved dogs But, they leave us with lovely, fun memories. I love to watch your journey with Stacey and Cole and all your dogs!
your a shepherd because you love it and because you do you cant get enough info on the subject that will make you not only a shepherd but a great shepherd you go and be proud
Thank you for telling us your journey so far. All your viewers are glad that you have found something that you love doing and are very good at. It sounds as if James was a major benefactor to you because he taught you the dog skills you needed to be where you are today. Working outside with animals is better than working outside with construction equipment that could very well kill you. Working in a windowless office for years is a way to kill yourself slowly. You chose the best path. We thank you, Stacy, the dogs, and James for your current career path.
Thank you for this. Those who struggle at school can find their way afterwards. My own son who has dyspraxia did, he was more of a doer than a thinker. You are great as a shepherd and have found your place ❤
Thank you for sharing your story. We all find our way in life and, hopefully we'll all find something as fulfilling as your career as a shepherd. My first dog was extremely easy to train. My second was difficult, a failed agility dog, but she learned from my first dog. Neither were working dogs, but they were wonderful companions that helped with the chickens and ducks.
You should be proud of your achievements, you're only young but have made a very good farmer out of your efforts. We love your channel and being Border Collie owners love watching your dogs. Echo would have to be the fastest Border Collie I have ever seen. He's so similar to our now past Ben.
Wow, please be proud of yourself, Sean. You were handed a challenge at a young age but didn't let that stop you from finding success and happiness at something you love to do. Thank you for the video.
Loved your back story and the lovely Stacey being a part of the journey based on other chats you have given REALLY enjoying your lighthearted videos Echo’s reset button was hilarious but driving the quad WOW that is patience on your part and love on his that he would trust you to film that You have a talent with dogs and some talented dogs
We enjoy your videos and your journey is inspiring. We live in the Northeast USA and have visited Scotland several years ago and thought the Scotish countryside to be some of the most beautiful land we have seen. Our family history comes from Scotland, so we have a natural love of the area.
This was such a wonderful video-thank you for sharing your story. It was really interesting and I’m glad you found your path in life…you are clearly very suited and good at it.
Mine was 8 months when I rescued her off the street (5 months ago). Since your dog is under 18 months, I recommend searching "age appropriateness dog training" and watching the vid on Beckman's dog training channel. Don't get discouraged if next month is rough. I laughed out loud when he said 9 months was the worst age of dog ownership because we were in month 9 and she was being a pain. The fact that we weren't over the 3 month "new dog" hump didn't help.
Hi Sean, thank you for sharing so much about yourself with us. My heart ached for you as you talked about losing your dog in such a sudden, painful way. I could hear in your voice how hard it was for you to talk about it. Sending blessings to you and your beautiful family from Florida, USA. ❤
Thanks for telling us your story. My mother was born and grew up on a farm in Alabama, USA so I'm very interested your experience. It seems the life suits you much better than any type of job in a town or city. You are showing me how practical and common sense you are but very intellectually curious. You also have a great sensitivity for your dogs or they wouldn't work for you the way they do. Hope you get to spend the rest of your life doing what you enjoy. Enjoy your family but please be careful on those hills. Looking forward to your next video.
That's a fabulous story and a great tribute to your hard work learning a neat trade Sean!!! It's gr8 Stacey supports you and has a love for the puppies you do! I've always had Labrador's and Golden Retrievers, but I rescued a Border Collie a few years ago and he is my buddy now!!! Love him to pieces!
Thank you for sharing that and I am so sorry about losing your first dog, especially as you couldn't be there for him due to covid. Extremely interesting video!
Hello Sean! Greetings from Ontario Canada. My brother and I grew up next to our grandfathers farm, we went on to different careers but I enjoy so much seeing you with your beautiful dogs in the fields, caring for your sheep, cattle, and dogs the way you do. Very happy for you and Stacey to have Kole in your pack! Thanks for telling your story. Be Well!
Hi Sean! Thank you so much for sharing your story-I have been wondering. You are a such a success and an inspiration to those kids I work with who need different approaches to instruction. Your academic history is very familiar to me. Thank goodness for your mom’s advice and your tapping into your interests and work ethic! Love to you, Stacey, Kole and your fabulous doggos-from WI USA.
So sad to hear about Haig, he sounded like a good dog, its so very hard when our pets pass & it would be much more difficult for you due to him still being relatively young - rest in peace dear Haig ❤
Kate the Great!!! She is a winner! And yes-dogs are co-dependent and respond to their People. Poor Haig-yes, something toxic would cause those symptoms, poison or bacterial. . . My son is probably dyslexic and certainly didn’t learn well by sitting in a classroom, being talked-at, and reading. He, too, is practical and hands-on and taught himself to become a master electrician (after he did a similar stretch in construction. . . And he loves dogs, too❤. )This is no small accomplishment. You are top notch! I recently lost my best Dog friend and I don’t think I’ll ever recover.
Thanks for sharing that. I would have NEVER have guessed that you were not brought up in farming. I think you are very smart and very good at what you do! I enjoy your videos because of the knowledge you share.
Thank you so much for sharing your story. It really helped to understand what it is you’re doing and why. I wish you and Stacy and the little one the very best in the future and look forward to more videos.
Great to hear the story of how you went from suburban teen to being a shepherd. I'd sort of pieced your background together from snippets learned through watching all of your TH-cam videos, but it was nice hearing it told in a linear fashion. I feel like I'm watching a real life movie as your story continues to unfold as you share your life with your fans. Your emotions are so open and honest, I could feel the pain you shared when you lost Haig. Just as I delighted in you and Stacey's joy when Kole arrived. Keep on inviting us to share your lives. That'll do!
Great story ....interesting to listen to good an bad times.....Love to watch you all an hope you all have long happy lives in your beautiful countryside.....
Keep asking questions Sean! I'm a retired specialist educator...a student that doesn't ask questions isn't learning 😊I'm sorry about Haig. I also lost my ddr shepherd in similar circumstances at 3yrs old. She had a brain tumor we didn't know about until she lost balance suddenly. It's heartbreaking when we lose them young. God obviously led you to the place you are in now a slice of heaven on earth with the animals you love. ❤see if you can show us how to train for recall which is so important. Maybe you can get into training dogs which is very lucrative...I know one young Americans your age doing very well from it Tom Davis no bad dogs
Great life story! (And wishes for it to continue!) It can be hard to find your place when you start out with a disadvantage, but you've worked your way through experience to the place you belong. Kudos to your mother for insisting you work part time if you were going to school part time. Her guidance gave you a good start.
Personally Sean I think this is your life's calling your very good at this. You do an excellent job of it. You truly care about the Animals and you strive to do an excellent job educating yourself and looking forward with new education that's always good and frankly it shows in your work. Working at something you love to do and your good at is not a job it's a good life. Sean sorry about the loss of Haig. It's been my experience when we loose a dog suddenly with no real answers why it's extremely hard to reconcile that loss in our heart and mind. In my 77 years on earth living with dogs my whole life this has happened to me and it still saddens me I didn't have an answer why or how. I do know in life we never know all the answers but for me you and Stacy that answer was necessary to help our hearts. ❤️🐾❤️🐾❤️🐾❤️🐾
Thank you for sharing your story and for the beautiful pictures of Scotland. You are still a young man and you have many years of shepherding ahead of you. Take care of your beautiful young family. All the Best to you and yours.
You've clearly worked hard to attain your success and by being you and having supportive people around you. My BC also collapsed suddenly in 2022. Worst time of my life. It took me two years to be able to talk about her passing without crying. Haig sounds like a special dog indeed and thank you for sharing your story of him and your inspirational and down to earth journey of your success.
Thank you for sharing your life with us, your fans! Love all your videos and how much you love your fur babies! I had a Border Collie, Dolly. She was prone to seizures and passed when she was 13. Miss her every day Hello to Stacy and your son
Great story, thanks for sharing your journey. I certainly enjoy you doing your tasks around the farm, and not just with the dogs. You are a fine example of following your heart.
Thank you for sharing the story of your journey to becoming a shepherd. The farm where you work is lucky to have you!
thank you for sharing your story. I'm a retired teacher and think it's amazing that your family recognized your struggles with traditional education and encouraged you to find your passion. I enjoy your channel so much!
Lovely comment TY
Good on your Mum, for telling you to go for farming! All the best from 🇨🇦
Thanks for sharing your heartfelt life's journey with us. Love your dogs. They are beautiful and super smart. You raised them well.
Great to hear a young person who enjoys his job thanks for your story

Thanks so much for telling us your story, with so many personal insights. Very interesting.
Kate is on the ready to be given a job!
Hello, Sean! Greetings from Connecticut! Thank you for telling your story about how you found your life's work, I enjoyed learning about your journey!

Thank you for following your heart. For now, we learn from you and your pups. Bless you and your family for allowing us into your lives.🙏❤️
Dogs not pups.
Regards from Bosnia & Herzegovina!!!! Congratulation Shawn on your life success. Be proud of your self, of your job and beautiful family... and beautiful smart dogs !!! :)
Regards to you from Hungary. I wonder how many of us are here from Central Europe
Regards to you from west Austria!
I love how echo, the entire time, was watching you intently and waiting for his command. He clearly loves his job😊
Meanwhile, Kate was definitely giving her grandson “the eye”! 😂😂
what a fascinating story! You are a resourcecful young man. you will go far!
My father always taught me that if you can do something you love for a living, you will never work a day in your life.
So sorry about Haig. I lost my first Border Collie Zeke at 2 from congenital heart disease. It's been 40+ years still tears me up. Love your videos thanks for sharing.
So very sorry for your loss, Sean and Stacey. So very glad you ended up with Kate the Great. It was meant to be 😊
Hope you get your own farm some day!
Well done Young man.😊
Greetings from Indiana, USA. Thanks for sharing. You and your family have a blessed year.
Lucky are those who work in an environment that welcomes their curiosity and supports their learning.
Well..being a dyslexic I want to say thank you❤ for your comment😊
What a wonderful story! I'm so glad you stayed with farming and found your nitch with sheep herding you are so great with it and I love how you are with your dogs! I love watching your videos. You are so authentic and your sense of humor is perfect!!
Thank you for sharing. Glad you became Sean the Sheepman, and that you allow us to follow along with you.
Thank you for sharing. You're lucky to have been able to feed your passions while you work. Love your doggos.
Sean, I love your show! God bless you and Stacy and your baby boy. Go in peace ✌️.
Thank you Sean. Such a fascinating story. You can surely tell that you love what you do .
Hi Sean from Potlatch, Idaho. Love your show seeing you and your family. Congratulations to you both on your baby.
Started watching you through Kate. Our Duke died and Kate looked so much like him and her antics reminded me a lot of him. I love sheep as I had some myself, so I was hooked. May God Bless you and your family.
When you know why things are done , you know how to adjust when they can’t be done so you can get ‘er done in a new way. Gotta roll with the waves
Clearly it’s your calling. You have a wonderful life; many are envious of. I’m because I had a border collie mix. I had wanted a borderline collie and a newfie since I was a kid.

Hi Sean! I’m glad to hear your background story! Thanks for sharing! I, also came from a suburban upbringing and bought a farm when I was 22.
I used to have a small flock of sheep in Vermont and I later moved to dairy cattle. We had 400 milking cows and 400 heifers coming up.
I am no longer able to live or work on a farm so I love to watch your working videos. The dogs are amazing, and I enjoy hearing about the family, and rural life in Scotland.

Not "fur babies" - dogs.

People who ask why learn to understand life at a deeper level. You made the right choice to farm and the right choice to be a site creator on YT. ✌️

Thank you for sharing that and I am so sorry about losing your first dog, especially as you couldn't be there for him due to covid. Extremely interesting video!
Hi Sean I have Dyslexia also and like you, it came on hard in the fifth year of school. If you are like me I always learned by doing.
Hello Sean! Greetings from Ontario Canada. My brother and I grew up next to our grandfathers farm, we went on to different careers but I enjoy so much seeing you with your beautiful dogs in the fields, caring for your sheep, cattle, and dogs the way you do. Very happy for you and Stacey to have Kole in your pack! Thanks for telling your story. Be Well!
Hi Sean! Thank you so much for sharing your story-I have been wondering. You are a such a success and an inspiration to those kids I work with who need different approaches to instruction. Your academic history is very familiar to me. Thank goodness for your mom’s advice and your tapping into your interests and work ethic!
Love to you, Stacey, Kole and your fabulous doggos-from WI USA.
So sad to hear about Haig, he sounded like a good dog, its so very hard when our pets pass & it would be much more difficult for you due to him still being relatively young - rest in peace dear Haig ❤
Glad you're here!
Inspiring story, finding your niche, mum's advice and fate taking you somewhere you could learn more about dogs and shepherding. Fabulous
Kate the Great!!! She is a winner! And yes-dogs are co-dependent and respond to their People. Poor Haig-yes, something toxic would cause those symptoms, poison or bacterial. . .
My son is probably dyslexic and certainly didn’t learn well by sitting in a classroom, being talked-at, and reading. He, too, is practical and hands-on and taught himself to become a master electrician (after he did a similar stretch in construction. . . And he loves dogs, too❤. )This is no small accomplishment. You are top notch!
I recently lost my best Dog friend and I don’t think I’ll ever recover.
So sorry for your recent loss. 🕊💐
Thank you for sharing your story with us. Interesting how you got started in shepherding. Blessings to you & your family ❤❤❤
Thanks for sharing that. I would have NEVER have guessed that you were not brought up in farming. I think you are very smart and very good at what you do! I enjoy your videos because of the knowledge you share.
Sean, you may be dyslexic but you have a talent for storytelling. Well done.
He really is a great storyteller!😊
Seems to me that your next step is getting your own farm. Perhaps all your fans can get together and make that happen.
I admire how you kept pursuing your dream!
Thanks for this video, Sean! I really enjoyed it! I love following your channel!!
Thank you so much for sharing your story. It really helped to understand what it is you’re doing and why. I wish you and Stacy and the little one the very best in the future and look forward to more videos.
Great to hear the story of how you went from suburban teen to being a shepherd. I'd sort of pieced your background together from snippets learned through watching all of your TH-cam videos, but it was nice hearing it told in a linear fashion. I feel like I'm watching a real life movie as your story continues to unfold as you share your life with your fans. Your emotions are so open and honest, I could feel the pain you shared when you lost Haig. Just as I delighted in you and Stacey's joy when Kole arrived. Keep on inviting us to share your lives. That'll do!
Sounds like hard work but those of us who wish they could live that life can experience it vicariously through you. thanks for doing these videos.
Great story ....interesting to listen to good an bad times.....Love to watch you all an hope you all have long happy lives in your beautiful countryside.....
I’m so sorry, it’s so hard to lose a friend, especially when you don’t know why!! Thanks for sharing. And thanks for your story, just fascinating x.
Really enjoyed hearing your story Sean.
Keep asking questions Sean! I'm a retired specialist educator...a student that doesn't ask questions isn't learning 😊I'm sorry about Haig. I also lost my ddr shepherd in similar circumstances at 3yrs old. She had a brain tumor we didn't know about until she lost balance suddenly. It's heartbreaking when we lose them young. God obviously led you to the place you are in now a slice of heaven on earth with the animals you love. ❤see if you can show us how to train for recall which is so important. Maybe you can get into training dogs which is very lucrative...I know one young Americans your age doing very well from it Tom Davis no bad dogs
Thank you for sharing with us, Sean.
Great life story! (And wishes for it to continue!) It can be hard to find your place when you start out with a disadvantage, but you've worked your way through experience to the place you belong. Kudos to your mother for insisting you work part time if you were going to school part time. Her guidance gave you a good start.
She’s (and maybe his Dad) given him a good work ethic: highly valued by employers.
Personally Sean I think this is your life's calling your very good at this. You do an excellent job of it. You truly care about the Animals and you strive to do an excellent job educating yourself and looking forward with new education that's always good and frankly it shows in your work.
Working at something you love to do and your good at is not a job it's a good life.
Sean sorry about the loss of Haig. It's been my experience when we loose a dog suddenly with no real answers why it's extremely hard to reconcile that loss in our heart and mind. In my 77 years on earth living with dogs my whole life this has happened to me and it still saddens me I didn't have an answer why or how. I do know in life we never know all the answers but for me you and Stacy that answer was necessary to help our hearts.

Thank you for sharing your story and for the beautiful pictures of Scotland. You are still a young man and you have many years of shepherding ahead of you. Take care of your beautiful young family. All the Best to you and yours.
You've clearly worked hard to attain your success and by being you and having supportive people around you. My BC also collapsed suddenly in 2022. Worst time of my life. It took me two years to be able to talk about her passing without crying. Haig sounds like a special dog indeed and thank you for sharing your story of him and your inspirational and down to earth journey of your success.
So sorry for your loss🕊😢
Thank you for sharing your life with us, your fans! Love all your videos and how much you love your fur babies!
I had a Border Collie, Dolly. She was prone to seizures and passed when she was 13. Miss her every day
Hello to Stacy and your son
Great story, thanks for sharing your journey. I certainly enjoy you doing your tasks around the farm, and not just with the dogs. You are a fine example of following your heart.
